About this property
*Stunning Waterfall & Glittering Pool**Spacious Home**Perfect 4 Family Reunions*
**The calming, tropical aura of San Diego is found in this spacious four-bedroom, four bath fully furnished Corporate Rental and Vacation Home. Enjoying a half-acre of land in a quiet neighborhood, it has the feel of a resort with a multitude of activities for clients young and old.
The Navy and the outstanding medical industry may lead San Diego’s economy, but that’s just the start. Other heavyweights include Qualcomm, Sempra Energy, PriceSmart, Illumina, Sharp-Grossmont Hospital and Rehab Center, DJO Finance, General Dynamics NASSCO, Kaiser Permanente, Kyocera Communications, Merchants Building Maintenance, Naval Medical Center Palomar, Pomerado Health Rehab, Rady Children's Hospital, Scripps, SeaWorld, Sony, Tyco Health Care, and UTC Aerospace Systems. The economy is truly diversified here and this home in the eastern suburb of El Cajon puts you close to the action.
The home is also perfect for Family Reunions. There is plenty of room for adults and children alike, as well as activities for every age group!
Birds of paradise, palms, tropical flora, and a bubbling terra cotta fountain frame your approach to the grand double door main entry below a arched transom window. A grand staircase to the upper floors elegantly greets you, as the traditionally decorated sitting room tempts you. Musicians will enjoy the baby grand piano, cello, and guitar, or simply the classical ambiance. The great room beyond combines TV room, kitchen dining, and game room into a spacious whole surrounded by natural light from the patio and ample windows. A massive leather sectional sofa puts you comfortably in front of a fireplace and massive LCD TV with karaoke player.
The tiled kitchen, stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and double sink partner with a gas range and substantial counter space to give the budding chef everything they need. Dig in at the massive dining table with lazy susan, seating up to fourteen, or at the bar counter stools. Digest your meal over a game of pool, while children are provided for with a well-stocked collection of toys and games. If bringing a baby, there is a pack-n-play, high chair, bouncy chair, bumbo seat, and baby swing.
The huge, tropical art deco inspired master bedroom includes a king-size bed, sitting area, fireplace, ceiling fan, and balcony overlooking the pool and waterfall. The master bath has a double shower and even a spa tub! A second bedroom has a king-size Tempurpedic mattress, ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom. Two other bedrooms share a bathroom; one with a king bed, and the other a bunk bed with 2 full-size mattresses, plus a pull out full mattress.
The 13-foot deep pool and waterfall is an inspiration. Dive in from the rock wall, or lounge and enjoy the tropical plant life all around. Stroll over to a small orchard where you can pick your own grapefruit, oranges, or tangerines if in season. Other highlights include a sunken, ground level trampoline for the kids to expend all their pent-up energy, an outside kitchen and BBQ area to showcase your culinary talents.
Located in the eastern suburb of El Cajon, this home is close to local colleges, the library, shopping centers, restaurants, and movie theaters. It is a short twenty-five minute drive to the world famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Balboa Park and many popular beaches.

About the host
Hosted by John & Karissa

My husband and I met at BYU and have been happily married 38 yrs. We have 8 children and 8 grandchildren. I teach an early morning Seminary class to teenagers every school morning and assist in my husband's Holistic Metabolic Center. I love music, to read, swim, design allergy-free meals for our family, dejunk, organize and to play with my grandchildren. John loves caring for his patients, hiking with our kids, and fixing & creating beautiful things. In 1991, he began an addition to our house, which almost doubled the size of our home. He enjoyed that so much, that in 2001, he began building our gorgeous pool and tropical landscaping.
Why they chose this property
We decided to buy a home in East County, because we wanted a house with a bit of property on it so that there would be plenty of room for a large family. My husband told me when he asked me to marry him that he wanted a dozen kids, and I was crazy enough to say yes! :} (Stopping with 8 was ok, though) He went to 4 different High Schools when he was growing up, so he wanted to buy a home where our children could stay until they graduated. This home was perfect for our growing family! The addition and the pool have made it the center for many of our children's friends and activities. They loved to invite their friends over to play pool, BBQ, jump on the trampoline, swim, or watch movies on our big screen TV
Now, almost all of our children are married or have gone to college, and we find that we are rattling around this big house and that our dining table has too many empty chairs. We began listing with "airbnb" a little while ago, and really enjoyed meeting so many truly wonderful people! We are excited to offer our house now on VRBO.

What makes this property unique
Our beautiful, tropical, resort-like back yard is the crowning glory of our property. My husband truly designed a paradise! There are so many different ways to enjoy yourself: picking fresh grapefruit, tangerines, apricots, or avocados when in season from our small orchard, jumping on the trampoline, reading a book or gazing down at the pool from our swing under a palapa, diving into the pool from our 13 foot waterfall, cooking dinner on the BBQ, tanning on the lounges, and swimming laps or just splashing with your kids in the pool. We have even had guests bring their computers out to the picnic table to finish a big work project, for the wi-fi is really strong there. One family with 5 kids would be out in the pool by 7:00 am every morning! They adored swimming in our 80*F pool (the temperature of the pool is usually 80* by mid-June).
When the house is rented a caretaker or myself will stay in the attached flat to be available for questions or any issues that might come up (that area is not pictured or included in the bedroom and bath count). There are a lot of moving parts to running the pool & spa, landscaping and other equipment for such a large property and we want your time to be as enjoyable as reasonably possible, so we will make ourselves available for questions and assistance as needed.
This home is really nice, very comfortable, clean, and feels much like a beautiful resort with
palm trees, ample windows & sliders to the outdoors. It can accommodate larger groups, however being in the middle of a quiet residential area, isn't suitable for large parties or loud outdoor music. Consideration of the neighbors and respectful use of the home is expected and greatly appreciated!
